Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 82-3
Applicability
Operative Text
Every portion of a building or premises used or intended to be used for any dwelling purpose, except temporary housing shall comply with the provisions of this chapter, irrespective of when such building shall have been constructed, altered or repaired and irrespective of any permits or licenses which shall have been issued for the use or occupancy of the building or premises, for the construction or repair of the building or for the installation or repair of equipment or facilities prior to the effective date of this chapter. This chapter establishes minimum standards for the initial and continued occupancy of all buildings and does not replace or modify standards otherwise established for the construction, repair, alteration or use of building equipment or facilities, except as provided in § 82-4 .
Section 82-3 of Manorhaven's Code of Ordinances establishes that virtually all residential buildings and dwelling spaces—regardless of when they were built, altered, or permitted—must meet the housing standards set out in Chapter 82. The only category excluded from these requirements is temporary housing. The chapter sets a floor of minimum conditions for both initial and ongoing occupancy, and it operates alongside, rather than replacing, other applicable construction or equipment standards, except where Section 82-4 provides otherwise.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 82-3, property owners and managers operating any residential dwelling in Manorhaven are expected to maintain compliance with Chapter 82's minimum standards continuously, not just at the time of initial occupancy. The age of a building, the date of any prior permit, or the history of past repairs does not exempt a property from these requirements. Compliant operators generally conduct regular assessments of their properties to ensure ongoing adherence to the chapter's standards alongside any other applicable building codes.

Section 82-3 makes clear that tenants in Manorhaven residential dwellings are entitled to housing that meets Chapter 82's minimum standards, no matter how old the building is or what permits were previously issued for it. These protections apply from the moment of initial occupancy and continue throughout the tenancy. Tenants who believe their dwelling falls short of these standards may consider documenting conditions, contacting the appropriate Manorhaven municipal authority, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
